The existing Global Information Infrastructure (GII), and software (e.g.
Mosaic, Netscape, Arena) that efficiently exploits it, has impacted many facets
of our life. Education is also being affected, as can be seen by the ever
increasing number of courses, especially in Computational Science and Engineering
(CS&E), that are making use of electronic resources. In this minisymposium, the
speakers will discuss electronic (virtual) classrooms and laboratories and
electronic textbooks that are being developed. They will illustrate how these
resources can provide new pedagogical approaches to teaching CS&E by using
interactive, adaptive multimedia tools which access the power of HPC based CS&E
systems.
